Turning the Tanker — Sal's PMQs Roundup, Reform's Dubious Donations, Musk & the Far-Right
PART ONE of this week's episode.
In part one we discussed David Lammy's surprising performance at PMQs, the ongoing ridicule levied at Reform and Farage, the rise of the far-right and Musk's interference in UK politics.
Part Two will be out tomorrow with chat about flags (again) and two big topics — mental health and the climate emergency.

Has the USA Failed — Government Shutdown, Hungry Kids plus Carol Decker and Flying Buses.
PART TWO of this week's episode.
We chatted about the ongoing government shutdown in the US and how, from next week, food stamps will no longer be available. It's disgusting when Trump is boasting about restarting nuclear tests.
This episode was a real rollercoaster of emotions with hope in Zohran Mamdani and the Patriotic Millionaires but also the devastating effects that Trump is having.
We chatted about Carol Decker's weird rant about vocab, whilst forgetting full stops, AND we had an amazing announcement towards the end that culminated in Sal breaking down with laughter … well worth the wait.

Asylum Affairs with Lou Calvey — Asylum Seekers Deserve Our Attention. And FLAGS Again.Our guest this week is the incredible, Lou Calvey. Lou appeared in a personal capacity. The level of knowledge and detail Lou brings to our conversation around asylum seekers, is astounding, and we truly thank her for the work she does.As usual, we talked about Reform — less so though, and more about FLAGS, because, well they're everywhere and getting annoying.We recorded this last week but have had a series of headache inducing tech issues, that has led to Don almost headbutting his laptop — so some of the stuff we mention has already been rendered out of date. 🙄Links for the show:Don's Substack is here.Write to your MP here.All our contact details are here.Thanks, as always, to @TheZombyPop on 𝕏 for our theme tune.

Positive Humanity — Autism in children, Farage punts crypto, Your Party woes & Good news stories
This week, we welcomed Gary Gilligan as our special guest. Gary is a writer and all round excellent human, but we got him on to discuss autism in children. He is the parent to an autistic son and gave us some valuable insight and points to consider when talking to autistic people.
We also talked about Nigel Farage [of course] and his advertising of a crypto coin linked to Reform's largest donor. No PMQs this week, but Sal got stuck into the ongoing catastrophe that is Your Party.
And we ended with, not one, but two good news stories. Which is nice.
Next week we will have a celebrity guest — listen to the end to find out who it is!
